Hard glass sphere is flush tank timer

ABSTRACT

A hard glass ball that is en-joined with-in the fluted valve to protrude through the bottom opening ( 15 ). The convex weighted sphere ( 15 ) then seats upon the open water drain ( 17 ) to close off the outgoing water. Pressing the outside tank handle ( 30 ) controls above mechanism to facilitate the in-flow and out-flow of tank water.

BACKGROUND

1. Field of Invention

This invention relates to toilet flush tank mechanism specifically to such a valve that regulates the in-flow and out-flow of water.

2. Description of Prior Art

Recent manufacture of pressurized water tank bowl systems that produce one and six tenths gallons of water per flush have met with mixed results. Municipal water entities have reported very small change in the amount of consumptiom. The users have had to flush twice for just small flush requirements.

For many years the PA mechanisms have been based upon the outside handle activation of the internal lifting of the fluted valve from its seated position upon the drain opening. As the fluted valve was raised to its highest level on top of the tank water it would float there-on until all of the water had escaped.

Many of the water saving inventions have addressed this problem for quite some time.

In time the tank water receeds and the valve returns to become reseated upon the outlet drain opening. However the entire storage of purified water has been lost, when fifty percent, could have been saved.

In reference to pa- W. M>Anderson, Sr., U.S. Pat. No. 2,440,389 (1944) and C>J>Moulton, U.S. Pat. No. 3,156,930 (1964) their priniciple intent has been good but does fall short.

My invention is with-in the province of the disclosure to add new and exotic materials that will appear in the following description. The combination and arrangement of parts and details in the embodiment may be made with-in the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the scope of the invention.

SUMMARY

In accordance with the primary claim the novel mechanism in my invention consists of a hard glass ball such as a “marble shooter” that is enjoined with-in the fluted valve.

OBJECTS AND ADVANTAGES

A small area of the glass ball protrudes through the bottom opening of the fluted valve, in a convex sphere shape. This design keeps the the hard glass ball balanced with-in the fluted valve while the mechanism is moving up or down. Whereby said valve is suspended from a brass stem in FIG. 1-B and FIG. 1-A is attached from an extruded plastic strap, to prevent friction and slippage.

The most integral area of my invention is the reverse engineering to prevent the excessive out-flow of fifty percent of purified water. This is the focal point of the reasoning to superseed the previous pa.

Drawing reference numeral worksheet inserted as Page 2-2.

An original step in this invention is the personal touch from the operator to become an important participant in activating the mechanism by pressing the outside handle.

At that point operator holds the handle in the full position for five seconds-then count one thousand one-two thousand two-three thousand three- four thousand four-five thousand five-then release the handle immediately to the starting position. Testing them-selves a few times and they will become adept to the five second counting.

At this junction they have already saved fifty percent of the valued purified tank water. This procedure is used for the lite flushes only. The average person does seven lite flushes per day. One large flush per day requires holding the handle for fifteen seconds. Further objects and advantages will appear as more of my invention becomes apparent.

DRAWING FIGURES

“FIG. 1-A” is preferred application. Referring to the drawings illustrated with a conventional flush tank 10 and well known valve structure 11 we proceed. System is controlled by a float 12 and having an over-flow duct 13 extending to an arm 14.

This arm provides slidable guide for stem 16 connected to outlet valve 15.

My invention has to do with moving of valve 15 from seat 17 for flushing purposes. A flushing outlet 17 has a lateral extention (not shown) adapted to receive water from said ball cock 12.

A notched strap 33 is inserted thru an eye at the end of stem 16 which extends up-wardly into bifurcated lever 32. A buoyant valve 15 settles upon the seat 17 and closes against the accumulated water from the refill pipe trap at 11 in “FIG. 1

Where-by stem 16 descends thru bracket guide to 14 into valve ball 15 which is then seated upon outlet valve 17.

“FIG. 1-B” FOLLOWING IS THE SECOND EMBODIMENT TITLE: A HARD GLASS SPHERE IS FLUSH TANK TIMER

The accompaniment FIG. 1-B is synonymous with previous “FIG. 1-A” with-in principles of engineering and operational function, method and design.

Drawings illustrate a flush tank 10 and well known valve structure 11 controlled by float 12 and overflow duct 13.

I am assuming this is an acceptable description.

The pressing of handle 30 activates the apperature 19 engaged with-in bifurcated lever 32.

Where-by the top of notched strap 38 is inserted thru the hole in lever 32.

Opposite lower end of strap extends downwardly into eye of stem 33.

Stem 33 descends to connect to threaded end of swivel 16 which connects to hook on flapper valve 15. Flapper ears connect to posts 13-d at base of pipe 13.

The hard glass ball sphere is enjoined with-in flapper valve 15.

Flapper valve 15 is now positioned to open or close water outlet drain pipe 17 as operator is disposed. A refill pipe trap 11 functions as needed.

It will be understood that the specific flush tank and operating details for the stem 33 and the flapper 15 may be varied as occasion or the existing installation may require without departing from the spirit of the invention. 

1. While having exhibited my water saver flush tank device I hereby expose members hard glass ball enjoined with the fluted valve. The outflow of water is hereby controlled by the valve containing the enjoined hard glass ball. My invention claims a reverse engineering system by use of the hard glass ball which when controlled by the following instructions will allow less then fifty percent of tank water to escape: In my invention the operator presses the handle holding it down for five seconds-Counting one thousand-two thousand-three thousand-four thousand- five thousand-releases the handle at that precise moment. This step will then drop the valve ball immediately upon the open drain pipe closing it securely. Refilling of the tank occurs promptly.
 2. Solidifying the reverse engineering method, the stem rods weight and double swivels with threaded connections establish a faultless mechanism to with stand chemical, water, and tank deterioration. Single handle control to activate the lite flush, or the larger deposit when needed, by holding handle down for 15 seconds. This is a very accommodating method of old and new as well as financial savings. To invent by problem recognition.
